His Destructive, Toxic Love

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside.

She struggled, trying to break free.

But he just took her hand in his, intertwining their fingers tightly so she couldn't escape.

When Caroline walked out, she saw Casper with a grin, dragging a reluctant Eliza into the house. "What's going on here?" she asked, worried her brother might be too rough, and quickly stepped in. Casper, still smiling, introduced Eliza, "This is Caroline, my sister, and this is Valerie, my friend." Caroline: ...No need for introductions.

Eliza: ...Sister, long time no see.

"I'll take it from here." Caroline gently took Eliza's hand from Casper's, "Let's have a chat."

"Sis, don't be too hard on her, or I'll get upset," Casper said, a hint of worry crossing his face.

Caroline: ...If only you were this protective earlier, you wouldn't be single now.

"In this house, as long as you don't give her a hard time, no one will," she urged Casper to leave, "Alright, no worries."

Watching Casper walk away, Caroline took Eliza by the hand and led her to a quieter spot.

"This silly boy, amnesia or not, his taste in love is still the same," she said with a laugh.

Eliza felt a bit mocked, "Sister, I don't see it that way."

"I think he cares a lot about you."

"His care is only because I'm Valerie, not Eliza. If he ever regains his memory, he'll feel like a fool," she said, her voice tinged with bitterness. "Sister, he never loved Eliza."

In the world of love, a woman might not love a man at first, but living together for a long time, she might slowly develop feelings.

But men are different from women.

If a man doesn't love, he just doesn't love.

Even if you live with him for a lifetime, he won't love you.

This is the fundamental reason she is adamant about not being with Casper.

Caroline thought Eliza's views were a bit bleak.

From Eliza's faked death to the discovery of her being alive, she had seen all of Casper's reactions.

"Are you really unwilling to give him a chance?"

"Sister, he and I...really aren't suitable." Her eyes drooped in dejection, "What I owed him, and what he owed me, we've settled. There's really no need to tie O ourselves together."

Caroline could especially understand Eliza's feelings as a woman.

Hearts are easily broken, but not so easily mended.

She didn't push any further, standing up to say, "Let's go see mom. Just the other day, she was still talking about you." "Okay."

Audrey was in a good mood, talking a lot with Eliza.

Leaving her room, Eliza planned to find an excuse to leave quickly.

Turning around, she almost bumped into someone.

"You... you are...?" Mae had seen Eliza before but didn't remember her well, "You are..."

Caroline stepped in to help, "This is Casper's friend, Valerie."

“Valerie?” Mae looked her up and down, suddenly remembering, “The woman with the mask at the supermarket that day, that was you, right?"

Eliza didn't avoid the question.

Since they didn't recognize her, she had nothing to hide, "Yes, that was me."

"How can a woman like you show up in the Welton family? Is this a place for you?" Mae's disdain was barely. concealed, her lips curling into a scornful smile, "Caroline, as the older ster, you should also watch
